has anyone had to changed these?

how much did it cost and where did you get it done?

cheers

 

don't think the sills are available I'm sure normal mk5 escort ones could be adapted to fit tho.

have asked 2 body shops now and they dont want to touch them

 

you was lucky then dave mines in a shit state!! havent took any picks mate as i dont want to be reminded, supose its another job when the engines out!!!

 

oh dear thats not good ben.not a nice job.how bad is bad then?

 

Any expirieced panelbeater should be able to fix this easily, most esc cos let go at much wors places to repair. Like rear wheelarches, a-posts and around window and petrolcap.

 

Ive not taken pics of mine either mate, but mine are thankfully repairable without a full panel as i first envisaged, are they both bad or just one like mine?

 

Both are BAD

 

looking on mine ford used fuck all rust protection underneath the kit on these cars so there will be a few more cars needing sills at some point

 

How did you get the skirts off? I've tried to get mine off but was afraid to destroy them, they're quite stuck.

 

Cant explain why these go so badly, but as Dan says they didnt do anything about these for protection,if you look at how much of the rubbery stuff they put underneath i cant believe they didnt put any on the sills. I know they arent available anymore as when i discovered mine were gone i wanted to replace the sill but fortunately mine can be patch repaired, can yours be too?

 

Any rusty cill picks yet matey??

 

I think the back part of the cills are part of the rear quarter and the front part is similar to the normal mk5 cills if you look closely there is spot-welded join where they meet.

 

i hav th same problem lads was sending car away to get fixed, pulled of skirts and oh my god couldn't believe th rust just d.side is worst left sill not too bad thou.....

did anyone ever use th normal mk5 ones? would consider it thou prob need to drill out holes for th skirts shouldn't be problem though!!

 

I had some small work done to my sills ( .. and will need to get some more work done to the floorplan.

Is it possible to get new floorplans to the Escort Cosworth??
